Using dialogue to build organization–public relationships,engage publics,and positively affect organizational outcomes

The study and practice of public relations continues to explore the many benefits accrued when organizations adopt a relational approach to public relations management. One area that is relatively unexplored in the relationship management literature is the role of dialogue in organization–public relationships. Historically, scholars have focused dialogic research on either interaction – where an organization and a public exchange information – or a debate – where organizations and public engage in a process of statement counterstatement. The current investigation explores the notion of dialogue and examines the ways in which relationship attitudes and dialogue may positively affect key public member evaluations and behavioral intent. The results suggest that both relationship attitudes and dialogue positively affect respondent evaluations of and intended behaviors toward an organization. The implications of the findings are presented and suggestions for managing organization–public relationships are considered.     

The Love Ethic: A Radical Theory for Social Work Practice

Love is marginalised in professional social work codes of ethics in Australia and internationally. Yet, reflecting the emancipatory imperative of social work, feminist bell hooks promotes love as a political process to transform systems of injustice such as capitalism, patriarchy, and racism. Analysing the works of hooks and other relevant literature, this article discusses “the love ethic”, a model of relationship-oriented activism encompassing dialogue, nonviolence, interconnectedness between people and between people and nature, reflexivity, shared power, and solidarity. It provides some practical suggestions for love-based social work practice, such as self-forgiveness, pursuing gender-equal relationships, upholding fair workplace conditions, honouring Indigenous peoples, supporting oppressed people to assert their rights, connecting local and global action, nurturing symbiotic relationships with nature, and supporting empowering spiritualities. The love ethic supports radical social workers to engage in activism, and necessitates further exploration within academia and practice.     

Keeping up with the digital age: How the American Red Cross uses social media to build relationships

Forty individuals from the American Red Cross were interviewed to explore the use of social media in communicating with key publics. Results show that practicing public relations through social media is effective and necessary in the emerging digital age, as shown through the Red Cross’ development of a two-way dialogue with younger constituents, the media, and the community. This two-way dialogue has been accomplished primarily through Twitter and Facebook, with barriers such as lack of staff and time, and opportunities to improve National Headquarters and local chapter relations. The insights shared by the American Red Cross are useful for both public relations scholars and professionals to help them understand and apply social media practices to build strong, lasting relationships.     

论巴赫金思想的独特性

前苏联思想家巴赫金的思想独具特色。1950年代后期,他提出的对话主义理论和狂欢化美学享誉世界,成为当代学术甚至日常思维的关键词。对话和狂欢共同指向生长,从两个维度表达了巴赫金对世界的哲学思考。巴赫金的思想表达兼有哲学美学化的倾向和异语表意的特点,一个论点往往有多层理解的充分可能,形成了思想的复调风格。

1924年以来的中印画家交往拾遗

近代中印画家的交往始自泰戈尔、高剑父和徐悲鸿。1924年,泰戈尔和鲍斯访华,与中国艺术家近距离接触,对近现代中国绘画有了全新的认识。1932年,岭南画派创始人高剑父访问印度,临摹阿旃陀石窟等佛教遗址,探索印度绘画的美学元素,与泰戈尔等艺术家展开艺术对话。印度之行归来,高剑父的画风明显受到印度佛教艺术的影响。1940年,徐悲鸿应邀访问泰戈尔创办的圣蒂尼克坦艺术中心,受印度美学启发,形成独特的绘画艺术风格。近代中印画家之间的艺术对话,促进了中印美术的深层交流。     

巴赫金的对话理论与现代俄罗斯报刊文本的模式

对话理论最早由巴赫金提出,现已超越最初文学评论范畴,涉及到人类生活的多个领域。报刊文本是一种特殊的文本形式,其特性在于新闻报道者总是尽力使读者接受自己的观点,并与自己保持相同立场。对话性是其存在的根本条件。现代俄罗斯报刊文本常用以下几种模式体现其对话性特点:"我/我们—你们";"我—他/他们—你们";"我1—我2—你们"。

论丁玲早期小说叙事结构的对话性

“对话性”是巴赫金首先提出来的。它的范畴比较广泛,既包括本中人物与人物的对话关系,也包括了人物与作、人物与读、人物与自我及作与读的对话关系。“对话性”体现在本的叙事结构、叙事体态等诸多方面。本试从对丁玲早期小说本中人物与人物,特别是人物与自我的关系的分析入手,揭示其笔下人物与人物之间的疏离与隔膜,人物与自我之间的矛盾与对立,人物表层的意识与深层的潜意识的差异与磨擦以及由此而体现在小说本叙事结构上的对话性特征。
